a gap of at least 100mm around all vents.
• Do not allow a large amount of frost to build up on the inside walls as this may impair
cooling. Defrost by turning the unit o, allowing the frost to melt and wiping out the
water.
• The lower the ambient temperature, the lower the power usage. In order to maximise
eiciency keep the unit in a cool location out of direct sunlight.
• It is recommended to operate the unit on a flat surface, but it will operate at angles up to
30°.
3. Operation
• Power: DC (12 and 24 Volt)
• Cable Length Specification
The DC cables must have a suitable cross-section for their length (measured from the
battery to the unit), according to this table:
